- All First Time Questions Thread -

thanks man, i'm happy they have done good in your eyes and mind and heart, that's why i put em out here for the interweb viewers, maybe to start a spark, maybe to give agreement to wordless intuitions, maybe to arouse curiosity. art peddle to the metal my first higher dose acid trip, I sat and looked through a big book of Dali's art, changed my whole conception of reality to this day. I recommend looking through a gallery of his work on LSD, it will give you goosebumps.

 

I'm definitely going to check more of his artwork during my next trip. I really like his melting clock piece! I'm not too familiar with his other works..but I'm going to try and keep it as a surprise until the next time i trip haha

But looking at pictures and art while i'm tripping really gets my mind flowing in all different directions. I'll look at one picture and have all these revelations in my mind.. or epiphanies if you will.. Then I turn the page to the next picture and i'm just like 'OMG....WOWWWW!.. IS THIS REALLY HAPPENING?!' Then my mind will stem off into a million other directions and so on haha. It's just simply is amazing. I feel as tho I have been getting a lot out of my last few trips..I can't wait to travel deeper! I'm hoping to soon have one of those full, all out, mind blowing, cosmetic experiences. I've been close.. but feel there is a whole other plateau waiting for me

Anyway, here is something my friend and I drew on our most previous trip (about 3 weeks ago).. May not seem like much but at the time.. it was so INTENSE! In this drawing I could see and connect to previous moments that just happened during our trip.. like when we walked on these abandon railroad tracks through the woods (about 1 hour prior to drawing this haha):



P.S. - The Moon was amazing that night!!!!

 

i love it! :drool5:

the energy is so lucy

 

Thats cool, kind of Ralph Steadman esque who did some cartoons drawings of Hunter S. Thompson.

 

Thanks guys!

 

I really wanna try tripping on acid soon but I want to make sure what I get isn't fake, how can I tell if its real or not?

I was supposed to get some shit from a city nearby but they said it comes in vials and that sounds sketchy cuz wouldn't I need to be buying a lot to get a vial?

Would it be a good idea to listen to Karl Sanders tripping, then meditating, and then drawing pictures afterwards?

TV and videogames tripping?

Thank you for all the help you all provide, it is well-appreciated.

 

The only guaranteed way to know you have LSD is to take it yourself. Vials can be sketchy but can also be potent, sometimes you can just get a drop or however many 'hits' you want from a vial without having to buy the whole thing, and it literally will just be a drop.

Im unfamiliar with Karl Sanders but meditating and drawings sounds good.

I think watching tv and playing video games is a waste of a trip but different strokes for different folks, a walk outside on like a secluded trail or uncrowded hiking area is always nice.

 

Karl Sanders is the guitarist/vocalist for Nile but he also plays sitar and makes Egyptian-style music, it's kinda tribal sounding ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpKFaN1wXFA ). I will try meditation music and tribal-type music.

Would I be better off tripping by myself or with some of my most-trusted friends?

If I decided to go out in public tripping would common-folk be able to tell that I'm not sober?

Is it better to trip during the day, at night, or both (as in trip mid-day as it becomes night-time)?

I feel that I am ready to begin using psychedelic drugs considering as I have no paranoia, no personal problems, no health problems, no mental issues; I feel pretty confident in myself about this but a lot my friends who have not used or pretend they have when they obviously have not used psychedelics before are all paranoid about me dying or them dying, bad trips, and claim they know someone who has died from this, I believe they are all bullshitting. I don't believe people die from lsd, I believe people die from over-dosing or acting like retards and doing stupid shit.

 

Hey man thanks for that Sanders music recommendation, I like his stuff. Will try it out with substances.

 

These days I prefer tripping alone but when I started I liked tripping with others. Its really your choice, I always feel a sense of responsibility when I ask others to trip with me though which can detract from me really exploring the depths of the psychedelic experience.

assuming youre not on a massive dose you should be able to walk fine but your eyes may be dialated and you may even slightly grind your teeth, so yes people can tell if they are looking for it. I dont like being around many sober people while tripping, they feel on a different 'wavelength.'

This is another one that depends on what you want to do. I find the day trip a little less chaotic and more visual and the night trip more deep and spacey. This is just my experience so its not necessarily how it will be for you. I think 2-3 pm is a good time to trip so you get some day, night and can get some sleep, especially if you trip solo. Staying up all night with friends can be fun though.

:2thumbsup:

 

@Mr. Writer
No problem man, his album, "Saurian Meditation" is full of great songs, I've never tripped off of any substance before but I've tripped sober while I was meditating a few times and his music is great for me when I'm meditating sober so I'm sure it will be beyond amazing on acid.

@guerrillabedlam
I appreciate the time you have given to answer my questions, thank you. When I have my first trip I will most likely begin at around 2-3 as you suggested and will probably be alone for part of the time and be with another part of the time so I can experiment with the telepathic communication I have heard about. I will probably try all kinds of music including death metal if at a time I see fit, although if I feel insecure about playing heavy music I may reconsider that idea, although I do not believe all death metal is negative, for example; I do not consider the song, "Under The Raven's Black Wings" by Tvangeste to be negative as the lyrics describe a battle between two clashing forces more than it does death, blood, and gore which I do not believe either one of those words are even spoken in the song (I will admit it sure does sound negative the way it is sang).

Thank you for all the help you have provided and may the good come back to you somehow,

Swade

 

Mr. Writer I think I've saved all of the images you feature in your signature to my computer.

I still have no tried acid yet. I picked up 4 tabs from my bud today. They are a lot smaller than I thought they would be. Hardly the size of my pinky nail. I plan on sharing them with my friend sometime this week. I'm really excited. I'm extremely fascinated with aesthetics and I think this experience is going to be very interesting. When should I expect results? And would rain negatively affect a trip?

Are migraines affected positively or negatively from LSD use?

 

positively unless you are losing major sleep or something

 

My acid is .5x.5cm tab on white paper. Is that common for fakes? Whatever it is, tomorrow night is going to interesting.

EDIT: It was acid.. Thank you all.

 

Is there a section for art people made while tripping?

 

I'd like to try acid, but I need to know: would it be safe if I am alone by the time I take it?

 

might be best to some people to do it alone , where there is no distraction. some people may tell you to get a sitter. I dont think its necessary with a single dose.. you will be safe.

 

I took one tab last night. It was less visual than my first trip (one tab) a week ago and a lot more emotional. It was what I imagined ecstasy to feel like- movement was euphoria. I should have saved it for a better trip though.

How many tabs do you guys take to feel you are in a separate reality? What I want in LSD is to see supreme visual beauty, as if in dreams.

 

It really depends on the quality of LSD. If its really quality 3 hits is usually enough to be in my own mental world but 5 would probably be good for sure and eat them all at once.

 

Hey guys, a friend of a friend is thinking about trying acid. He smokes weed occasionally, but otherwise, has done nothing else. He thinks he wants to go into the world of psychedelics to expand his mind, improve musical creativity, and to overall have a great time. He has done his research, and has spent hours reading about acid, and wants to do it badly, but he has a few concerns.

First of all, he is afraid of bad trips. He has heard stories of people going crazy from acid, or never coming down from their trip etc. He is afraid it could fuck him up for life. He is also afraid of flashbacks and the like. The possibility that it might not really be acid also scares him. He wants to take one hit at the beach on a summer's day. Should he do it? He is 15 btw. Also, he wants to know, how long until he would be able to face his parents and act straight again? Thanks
